TEHRAN (Iran News) Addressing a meeting of the Parliament on Sunday morning, Qalibaf called on the PGCC to focus its efforts on halting the Israeli regime’s war machine in Gaza and Lebanon instead of making unsubstantiated claims against Iran’s territorial integrity.
His comments came after the PGCC and the EU, in a joint statement issued in Brussels on Wednesday, urged Iran to relinquish control of three Persian Gulf islands of Abu Musa, the Greater Tunb, and the Lesser Tunb.
Qalibaf said the EU and a number of its influential countries have been transformed from independent states into actors that obey the Zionist regime’s orders and justify the Israeli genocidal crimes in Gaza and Lebanon.
The EU and others making absurd claims must bear in mind that Abu Musa, the Greater Tunb, and the Lesser Tunb are inseparable parts of Iran and that nobody can dare to defy this inalienable principle, the speaker added.
Qalibaf warned the countries that question Iran’s sovereignty over the three islands that they “had better not test the Iranian nation’s resolve to prove that principle” if they care about their existence.
